Crash! Bang! Wallop!
Colloborating in my head at the moment are Roisin Murphy, Skream (anyone hear his latest work of art on Youngsta's show the other day?!), Fourtet, D1, Bugz and Metalheadz and of all people Curtis Mayfield (Make Me Believe In You- Patti Jo) inspiring me to get on those keys and jangle them myself. Previous attempts at production have only really consisted of providing samples and ideas to producers but now the frustration of not being able to at least try and record the beats in my head is pushing me to start learning. I have my first proper lesson tommorrow with a friend who uses a combination of software. Question is, what do I get for home use on my own? From what I hear, Reason is the way forward, but many people have recommended Fruity Loops and Cubase. Damn, I have no idea about the differences between this lot and I haven't even started on Pro Tools and Logic and Garage Band which I gather is for absolute-beginners? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, if I'm gonna be a soundgyal I'm gonna need a whole lot of help.

I've been playing around with FL this year. it's pretty good for a beginner cos you've got all the basics you need in one well-designed program, but very capable of some serious results.
try Reason or Fruity - they're self contained studios.
if you start trying to make music at first with something complex like Logic or Cubase (both sequencer programs, ie you need to add instruments like samplers, soft synths) you'll put yourself off the whole process.
